Voyager screencap note: can tap the three dots, share as image, add the parent comment, and get a nice clean shot. Helpful if there are lots of replies you want to hide in between.

Coffee filtered through a dead cockroach is about to become the new 'Kopi luwak' (coffee from animal poop).

It's too disgusting now, but soon it'll be both too disgusting and too expensive.

I mean cockroack milk (made from their secretions) is a thing already, so.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (7 children)

What the fuck did I just read.

If I had an ounce of skill as an artist I'd draw the image evoked by your 13 words.

Tiny milking machines hooked up to billions of restrained cockroaches, extracting their milky secretions.

God damnit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm kind of glad you're not an artist tbh. To get the pure milk, scientists had to sort of stick a filter right into their abdomens (it's a kind of cockroach that gives birth to live young).

Realistically if anyone ever harvests it en masse they will probably just kill the mothers and include the entire abdomen not just the milk secretions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are you glad because I'm not very inventive, or because my description demonstrates I'm disturbed?

And I have so many additional questions.

  1. Do they feed this secretion to the live young?
  2. If yes, wouldn't that technically make them mammals?
  3. Is the milk harvested before or after live birth?
  4. If before, where is egg/larva sack, anatomically?
  5. If in abdomen, how separate are these organs - in other words, are we talking like milk sack, reproductive sack - stick the needle filter too far one way and you've missed the milk and got larvae - or is it like a liquefied mess in there, and that's why they need the filter?

I can go on, but man this is weird...

Hell, I've seen weirder AI stuff. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

Honestly there's probably ground up roaches and other bugs in the coffee anyway, no one complains about that.

But as soon as I jokingly put a cockroach in the coffee maker, all of a sudden it's a big deal 🙄

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Maybe the keyword there is "jokingly"? Too many people these days can't take a joke.

Have you tried straight-up putting one in authentically - maybe they'd like it then? :-P

Pro-Tip: how about you don't try that? :-D

When I was at school in sixth form there was a coffee vending machine in the rec room (basically only had a few chairs and a sofa plus the coffee vending machine and a microwave) an acquaintance (I hated the guy personally )of mine went and got a coffee from it and found a dead fly at the bottom of the cup. Put me off the vending machine completely and now I'm more cautious when using any machine.

Well here is a half moth that I once got in a prepackaged salad I bought once

Looks like a cicada

Where's the other half?

Prepackaged leafy greens are the worst offenders for quality control issues by far

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Sensitive to moisture, temperature, crushing, short shelf life, can’t really pasteurize, and most commonly eaten raw. Bugs can be gross but the most potent threat is bacteria!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I worked in a restaurant that purchased local produce. One day a guest sent back a salad because it had a butterfly in it. That bastard had submerged in water for 30 minutes, rinsed and run 3 through a salad spinner three times, then refrigerated for about 2 hours. Yet there it was, covered in dressing and still fucking alive.

Greens are kind of a mine field. Bugs love them and lots of them are specifically designed to hide and live within them. Let's not even get into e. Coli.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Fun fact, there is an acceptable level of bug parts allowed in food products. And the level is not zero.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Fuck man, bug parts are probably some of the healthiest things in your food.

The shit has micro plastics in it. Stuff that fucks up the kids you don't even have yet.

Bugs are no big deal. Except they also have micro plastics in them.

Friend is an epidemiologist. Someone ran their coffee maker at their cabin after a while away. It tasted funny. Mostly because there was a BAT in it.

There hadn't been any rabies cases near Wuhan for years back in '19

The worst is not the bug, it's where the the bug has been and what it has eaten...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I actually do have a small amount of mealworm protein every month. I was just trying to fuck with that other guy.
